I’m glad you finally got it guys! It was getting close to a half year mark. I wish you would have got it before the halving, oh well at least it’s finally cracked! Congrats!  |

The blocks seem to be rolling in at pretty good clip at the moment.
But I suppose we could see a difficulty drop, at least initially. I expect it to be like the other diff drops and stabilize after a short while.
Hopefully, although as I can see it says the next difficulty will only raise by like 2% estimate. |

Btc halved, now what guys? You think the difficulty will go down or what will happen? I see people turning off their machines by thousands already!  |

that is not wasted energy, that is how POW works. Seems you have no understanding about statistic...
It is waisted energy for those that left. Well it depends who is behind the machines. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theblockcrypto.com/amp/linked/57943/a-power-plant-in-new-york-is-reportedly-mining-roughly-50000-in-bitcoin-each-day Lol. Power companies now coercing the public to go green so they can use the excess to mine bitcoin. Lmao. This is what your up against folks. Market swings make no difference when it’s off loaded power they use anyway. They will hoard during the down markets because they don’t have to sell and dump every time it goes high. Rinse and repeat until the majority have been fleeced. Crypto has become a speculators sport. Take that to the bank! BR Doug   |

Hopefully we can discuss the block we find soon. I am new here but 1430 hours seems like quite the dry spell.
if you look at the https://kano.is/index.php?k=blocks page - you will see our luck is a little higher than 100% for the past 5 but for any other count, we are under 100% and overall (like 2500 blocks) the pool is at 101% so that is pretty good. that said, I do hope it is soon lol Ouch! - 1818h since the last block. Hey, that's 75.75 days. Maybe our LUCKY number?! Here's to the next block!  As I can see just the last month the pool has lost about 50% of the hash rate which is about 10PH. All I know is that’s a hell of a lot of electricity just waisted by turning it into heat and then releasing it into atmosphere if counting almost 3 months without a block! Should have at least stayed around until it was found so there wouldn’t have been such a big waist. Probably could have charged 100 Tesla’s for a lifetime! |

speaking of ebay... someone on the forums here pointed me to a listing on ebay that is using my actual photos from here to sell something. makes me think they dont have the item of they have to use my photos.
That’s weird why would they post something that they don’t have when the payment goes through PayPal and if they don’t send anything then they don’t get the payment. yea right? lol look at his eBay response (he did remove the listing) when I requested he not use my photo's.... idiot  That’s why it had that work vibe? WTf is that supposed to mean! Lol  |

In eBay there is a "Report Item" link down on the header with the Description and Shipping and payments tabs. This can be used to report scams and other things even if you are not buying the item.
Thanks! |

I do hope that your friend who bought the miners reported the issue with them to the seller and eBay (though the seller may have been who intentionally did the infection).
Actually he tried to get his money back because he bought 50 hashing cards and not a single one worked as well as 10 controllers out of which only like 2 units were working and the one that he gave me was the infected one. And no it wasn’t my friend, if you’re wondering, he I clueless of these kind of things and just has like 15 s9’s running. But he wasn’t able to check the cards for like 3 months and when he finally did it was too late to ask EBay for any help. $1200 thrown away! He is still pissed and he wanted to do something to take this guy off the EBay. It’s some guy from Canada, he sells them by 10 units now before he was selling by 50. You think EBay would really listen if he was to report this seller and actually do something? I doubt it to tell you the truth. The sellers name is “mrinjenari”. Stay away from him! Well he admitted it was his fault eBay did nothing. If you expect to order something let it sit for 3 months then think let me test this and expect the seller to honor a DOA unit months past the delivery date you are crazy. Yes odds are the seller was trying to scam but it should have been tested the day it arrived. He has nothing against the EBay since it was too late to even open any kind of a case against the seller. He lost his $1200 and is blaming only himself for it. I told him that it was stupid of him since he could have purchased like 8 perfectly miners instead but he just wanted spare parts because his line just doesn’t hold more than like 15 miners in total. But that’s not the point. The point of this conversation is that we were discussing if he could somehow report or red flag this seller for selling hacked controllers to people, so that EBay would take some action against the seller and other will not fall for this trap. I don’t know if it’s possible but I think he could try if he calls them and explains the situation, because I think the guy is still selling these trashed cards and contaminated controllers to other victims. |

Just so you know guys, I was able to repair all of the miners affected by the virus. Apparently it was a poisoned controller that I got from a friend which bought a bunch of them on the EBay from some guy that was selling bunch of them. Thanks all for support!!! Mine on Comrades! |

So I contacted the the ISP provider and they confirmed me that I was hacked by WiFi although I’m not sure how since the SSID was hidden.
Hiding an SSID is NOT a security feature. It just keeps the casual person from seeing your network easily. Clients still need to know the SSID and that information is passed in the clear over the air. So anyone sniffing for WiFi can easily see your SSID even though it is hidden. I seriously doubt that a hacker in China was connecting via your WiFi. Make sure your using, at least, WPA2 with a very good and complex key. Disable uPNP and Bonjour and reboot it. If your using a Ubiquity router make sure you disable Ubi Discovery. Os2Sam, I wanted to ask you. How can I check my network for the level of security? What type of software do I need to load up to be able to try to hack my own network even when the SSID is hidden? I thought that it makes it pretty safe when I hide the SSID What other modern safety measures people take these days to protect their network? Thanks! You can download wireshark to scan your network traffic. WPA/2/3 with, a good, high entropy key is important for wifi. uPNP and Bonjour allow apps in your network to open ports in your router, whether its wired or wifi, and gives you NO notification that that was done. Also you can check TCP hardness of your router by using ShieldsUp at grc.com and scanning "All Service Ports" and verifying that all ports are at least closed at best stealthed. Thanks for the information Sam! I will check all of the software that you’ve recommended to me although i barely ever use my laptop and am always on my ipad so Is there any easier way to protect the network like some of those $200 plug and play devices on Amazon such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/GRYPHON-Security-Protection-AI-Intrusion-Detection/dp/B078Z3PTJP/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=secure+network+device&qid=1581610085&sr=8-7Would it do any good to help me get more secured? Thanks! You would need to replace your existing router with that for it to help. Well you see, I have an optical Huawei Modem and it is a Router all in one. So you think if I connect this device between my modem and the miners I will be safer? Thanks! Because I cannot replace the modem which the ISP provided me. All I can do is to bash this one against the wall and tell them ip that it broke by accident and they will bring me a new one for free, that way I will have a new MAC address on i it if that would help. |

2020-02-04 09:00:49 [Error][Alarm-Log] AlarmID:303500,AlarmLevel:Error,DoS attack. Type: smurf. Source IP address: 192.168.1.102. Destination IP address: 192.168.1.255. Source MAC address:
These IP addresses are internal to your network. The 102 address is a machine on your network, the 255 address is the broadcast address of your internal network (the address that something scanning your network for vulnerable hosts would use) What machine on your internal network has the IP address 192.168.1.102 Biffa, since the whole network has been reseted I’m not sure which device it was on 102 but I have some screenshots from the network analyzer by technet app and it had the following letters beside it, green W, red B, purple 6 and a green P. 4 in total. To tell you the truth I’m clueless to what is the meaning of them but even my modem only has 3 at this moment as well as my ipad from which I control everything on the network. And I just use this paid App Network Analyzer to find the miners on my network which have only 2 green letters beside them which is a lightened green color W and a darker color P. |
